Engaging the World

Since 2010, CIHR has invested over $584M in research projects in the areas of community-based primary health care (CBPHC) and eHealth. Throughout this timeframe, the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR), in partnership with several other CIHR Institutes, led two major initiatives in these areas, namely, Community-Based Primary Health Care and eHealth Innovations.

The CIHR HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (CBR) Program is one of four research funding areas of the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative. The CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative is responsible for the research components of the major Government of Canada initiative in HIV/AIDS, namely the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada (FI).

The aim of the Catalyst Grant component of the CBR program is to provide seed money to support HIV/AIDS CBR research activities which represent a first step towards the pursuit of more comprehensive funding opportunities (e.g., operating grants).

The CHRP Initiative funding supports interdisciplinary collaborations between natural sciences, engineering and health sciences communities to translate innovative research results to knowledge/technology users (KTUs) and related stakeholders outside the academic or training environment. There is a special funding call in 2018 on Artificial Intelligence, Health and Society.

The CIHR Dementia Research Strategy supports research on the latest preventive, diagnostic and treatment approaches to Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases causing dementia. It consists of an international and a national component, which together, allows the Government of Canada to support world-class research on dementia, contributing to the global pursuit of finding a cure or disease-modifying treatment for dementia by 2025.

This funding opportunity supports the development and testing of innovative methodologies/designs of innovative clinical trials (iCT) that is integrated with the principles of Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR).

Recognizes exceptional contributions in the area of population and public health research.

CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC are jointly funding a national Healthy Cities Research Training Platform (HCRTP) to develop an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral training initiative that will generate cutting-edge knowledge and build capacity for implementation science and solutions-based research.

This opportunity supports Canadian researchers in establishing collaborative networks comprised of international teams of disciplinarily-diverse researchers to build on existing global investments in neurotechnologies to address overarching questions in neuroscience

ICS Travel Awards support students, postdoctoral fellows, new investigators and knowledge users to present their own research at national and international meetings and/or conferences.

CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC are jointly funding a national Healthy Cities Research Training Platform (HCRTP) to develop an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral training initiative that will generate cutting-edge knowledge and build capacity for implementation science and solutions-based research.

The aim of this call is to enable scientists in different countries to build an effective collaboration on a common interdisciplinary research project in the area of rare disease mechanism, progression and diagnostics.

Recognizes an outstanding contribution to health services and policy research, policy and/or care delivery in Canada.

This funding opportunity will support a Network to generate new knowledge to improve diagnosis and treatment of ME disease in Canada.

The Stars Career Development award supports early-career/mid-career investigators in firmly establishing their careers in the area of arthritis research.

The 'Network of European Funding for Neuroscience Research' (NEURON) was established under the ERA-NET scheme of the European Commission. The aim of ERA-NET NEURON is to coordinate and optimize research efforts and funding programmes of its partner countries in the fields of disease related neuroscience. CIHR and the NEURON funding organizations particularly wish to promote multi-disciplinary work and translational research proposals that combine basic and clinical approaches.

This program supports outstanding new investigators as they develop their careers as independent research scientists or clinician scientists to undertake high-quality cancer research, while in close collaboration and mentorship with established TFRI or CIHR-ICR-funded research teams

This funding opportunity supports the creation of six network in the areas of musculoskeletal (MSK) rehabilitation, muscular dystrophy, skin health, concussion and youth mental health.

The goal of the CIHR-ICRH/CAAIF/AZ Canada/AllerGen Emerging Researcher Awards in Allergic Asthma is to enable Canadian allergists, clinical immunologists, MD clinician scientists, and basic scientists working in translational research to pursue academic research in allergic asthma.

This funding opportunity supports the development and testing of innovative methodologies/designs of innovative clinical trials (iCT) that is integrated with the principles of Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR).

This catalyst grant supports research to expand current evidence and understanding of disease prevention that will lead to future intervention studies.

This opportunity is to support the establishment of a multidisciplinary platform with the research expertise to identify best practices for studying sex and age as biological variables in basic science, provide training, and promote these methods and services.
